When I was in Seattle a few months ago, I chatted with a couple who were heading out to Paris. Being in Paris only about a year ago, I was able to provide some tips to help them plan their trip.

Over the years, we shared information with family and friends about places we traveled and the experience we learned – the ups and the downs. Often, folks found useful tips from the conversation. We created this blog so we can share the information with a greater audience whether these are novice traveler looking for a budget trip or experienced travelers who would like to explore an old place in a new way.
